"It has been years since Holy Fuck's last album, 2020's Deleter. In that time, the Canadian quartet -- Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt 'Punchy' McQuaid, and Matt Schulz -- spent two years apart, only to finally reconvene in a remote village hall in rural Nova Scotia in March 2022. What began as a simple reunion and rehearsal session soon flowed into new song ideas, becoming the starting point for their album Event Beat. At a time when music is increasingly AI-generated, Holy Fuck are more relevant than ever. They've built their reputation on forging electronic music with a profound human touch, keeping every element as live as possible, and favoring ragged energy and improvisation over staid, cold perfection. This is music where intuition and 'muscle memory' create an almost telepathic link between the four musicians. The unexpected circumstances of the recording sessions profoundly shaped the album. Faced with a storm that knocked out power (forcing the use of a generator) and a neighbor who objected to the volume, the band was challenged to make their signature sound while being as quiet as possible. This limitation unexpectedly resulted in 'low-key ambient things' and 'pastoral, vibey soundscapes.' However, hitting play on Event Beat reveals they brilliantly circumvented the idea of a purely ambient record. The album also comes in the wake of two major placements that led to an unexpected rediscovery: their track 'Tom Tom' was featured in the Amazon Prime Video hit animated series Invincible. Furthermore, 'Lost Cool' resurfaced in the Academy Award-winning body horror The Substance. With the sheer vibrancy of Event Beat and their conviction to keep going regardless of trends, Holy Fuck remain as relevant as ever. This album is a testament to the 'togetherness and the humanity in the music.'"

"Taken from their current album Still Born Alive this 12" is a new re-mix by Tim Wright (aka Tube Jerk on Novamute), who is also a founding member of Sand. Their intense electronic funk techno sound has made fans of DJs such as Andy Weatherall and Gilles Peterson. After two critically acclaimed albums (Beautiful People Are Evil and Still Born Alive) and a recent sell-out tour of UK cinemas, where they played alongside specially made interactive films, Sand continue their unique electro-techno-funk sound with this new release."

"Formed in London late 1997, Anglo-German four piece Karamasov released their eclectic debut the following year. Comprising a diverse collection of largely instrumental improvisations, On Arrival made for a deceptively assured debut. Drawing on influences of Kraut, Rock, Jazz and minimal Techno, Karamasov's compliment of electronics, samples and ancient analogs is lent an added warmth by the less predictable addition of live instruments such as cello and a knack for improvisation, augmented in no small part by classically trained percussionist Berit Immig. Benefiting from a more coherent production,the new album, Divorce you Loved Ones with Dignity is a more accessible collection than previous more esoteric releases. Their left-field take on pop veers at times toward the rarefied dancefloor occupied by Stereolab, Tarwater and ex-label mates Add n to (x), at others a gentle, affectionate nod to a past illuminated by the likes of Can et al will warm those possessed of an analog soul."

"Yossarian's third single for Satellite pushes his unique persona further again, fusing pure pop with pop art experimentation, providing his most accessible offering to date. Catchy AND obscure in equal measure, Yossarian looks set to draw interest from a wider audience than ever before, as the dapper dog detective continues sniffing out that elusive perfect beat."

"Fourth release by electro artists Bell entitled Numbers mixes Detroit and New York Electro (from Mantronix to Drexciya) with English Electronica (from Cabaret Voltaire to Add N To X). After three singles of electro, techno and acid house, this album shows all their influences, from other experimentalists such as Moodyman to Kraftwerk. 'Mantronix/Jonzun Crew inspired nod to early 80s electrobeat with just a touch of black-shirted Anglo electronics. Bell are a duo from London and this release is brilliant' -- Muzik. Bell recently played alongside ESG at the last 1977 and have got fans from the likes of Andy Weatherall and Gilles Peterson. Bell are Dan Crouch and Adrian Stephens and both are from London."
